Dear Aspirants

Preparation for Civil Services Exam should be undertaken in a holistic manner. Students should

prepare for Prelims, Mains and Personality Test (Interview) simultaneously. However, most of the

students prepare for Prelims and Mains Exam in separate manner which leads to failure in the exam.

Therefore, we have developed Prelims Test Series and Mains Test Series in such a manner that every

student can prepare for both Prelims and Mains Exam simultaneously.

Also, our Personality Development Programme is now integrated with Prelims and Mains preparation

so that students can develop their knowledge, skills and personality in a coherent way to get the final

selection with a very good rank in Civil Services Exam.
